Apples ethics and socialresponsibility
In researching the Apple Company’s Social (Supplier) and ethical responsibilities I found that their initiatives are geared toward Empowering Workers, Labor & Human Rights, Health & Safety, Environment and Accountability. I think their approach is interesting but I feel that a large company like Apple can do way more for the local communities and country as a whole.
Apples stance on empowering their workers is a wonderful thing. I think more companies need to recognize that a happy workforce makes for an overall greater employee and customer experience. Apple Inc. employs staff all over the world and is committed to treating employees with respect and dignity. The company provides educational resources for all of their employees giving them the opportunity to earn an undergraduate degree. Apple has very high standards and expectations in the industry. They provide their employees with the appropriate tools necessary to meet the high bar set forth; communicate and maintain a safe and respectable workplace. Training on the Apples Code of Conduct is mandatory for all new and existing employees.
When it comes to Labor & Human Rights Apple is committed to ending excessive work...

...“golden candlesticks” represents Parris’ own greed and by extension the corrupted power of the theocracy of Salem. There are continuous references to light and dark within Miller’s play and Hytner draws attention to this particularly when Parris stands in the pulpit announcing excommunication and then turns and smothers the candle light between his fingers. This action although simple has a destructive element as instead of blowing out the light he smothers it viciously, causing the audience to feel a sense of foreboding for what is to come. Finally, Miller’s dialogue is possibly the most important part of the play captured fairly accurately by Hytner. The symbolism of a person’s name is integral to conveying Miller’s idea of the value of a good reputation within the community. When Parris queries Abigail about her affair with Proctor he says, “your name in the village is entirely white, is it not?” to which she replies, “there be no blush about my name, sir.” Abigail’s defensive attitude not only indicates she is lying, but also presents the idea of her innocence being tainted, which is emulated well in the film. Cinematically Hytner uses camera angles at the crucial moment when Proctor is signing his own confession, swapping from a camera angle looking up at his face and his view looking down writing his name. The use of silence here rather than meaningful non-diegetic sound helps to emphasise that this sort of thing actually happened across America during...

Abstract and Keywords
The purpose of this article is to provide a general summary of the key value propositions evident in the research
on the business case for corporate socialresponsibility (CSR), described as four general ‘types’ of the business
case, or four modes of value creation. It then presents a critique of these approaches (including identifying some
problems inherent in the construct of CSR itself) and offers some principles for constructing a ‘better’ business
case. Its intent is not to conduct a thorough review of studies analyzing the relationship between CSR and financial
performance, as that has been well done elsewhere. Rather it seeks to unearth assumptions underlying dominant
approaches in an effort to build a...

...Title Assignment topic 1) What are your preferred definitions of business ethics and socialresponsibility Why have you chosen these definitions 2) What is one key issue in the area of business ethics and socialresponsibility that is relevant, currently, to your organisation and your industry (You need to explain the issue and show its relevance to your organisation/industry) 3) What strategies could your organisation adopt to address this issue (You need to explain these fully) Word count Words Executive Summary There have been drastic changes today that have and continue to influence business ethics. However, organizations are lagging behind these changes or simply ignoring business ethics all together. Recent companies have failed to practice business ethics and socialresponsibility as their primary aim remains on making profits. The issue is that in fact, management have been blindsided by their need to make monies under whatever circumstances necessary which usually constitutes for foregoing ethical practices. The most credible of organisations and employees have indeed professional integrity and have been reliant on a code of ethics for the organizations principles and standards of practice. The plight of society continues to surround business ethics and corporate social...

...prove that a business organization should be socially responsible in a successful or an effective manner which will eventually benefit the company’s owners or shareholders. I will do so through illustrating the different potential effects of a business organization engaging in Corporate SocialResponsibility (“CSR”). The effects that will be shown in this essay would be an increase and decrease in the company’s expenses, sustaining and harming the environment, increase and decrease in sales and customers, improve the lives of people inside and outside the company, and the practice of social irresponsibility. I will also be providing actual companies engage in CSR, and its effects on each company. I will be citing several companies such as Petite Four Legs, Panga Organics, Verdigris Group, Cisco, British Petroleum, DLA Piper, PepsiCo, and Enron. All of these companies engage in some kind of socialresponsibility and may or may not have a positive effect on them.
Business Organization Shareholders vs. SocialResponsibility
A business organization is owned by shareholders or owners. They supply the capital or money for the organization. The money will then be used to create goods or services that will be sold to reach goal of the business which is to enhance the entity’s profits...

...SocialResponsibility of Business Entities
Some people believe that businesses have a duty to create a good impact on society while providing a profit for their shareholders, this is socialresponsibility. While the concept of socialresponsibility has many believers and critics, it has been shown that consumers will not purchase goods or services from a company they feel is not trustworthy. A company's reputation does play a role in determining if it succeeds or ultimately fails.
In the given scenario, Company Q has made some business decisions that require
analyzing. Company Q has closed two stores in areas of the city that are considered
“bad”. They have finally, after a long period of time and with high prices, started
carrying organic and health-conscience foods. Lastly, Company Q has turned down a
local food bank's request for day-old products and instead have just thrown that food
away. It is clear that Company Q does not believe that they have to be socially
responsible to the city. These types of decisions could lead Company Q to have a very
bad reputation among consumers in the area. They only seem concerned with their
bottom line, which could prove to be a costly mistake and bring along the end of the
company.
Company Q should evaluate the decisions they have made and...

What is the SocialResponsibility of Business?
After reading these articles, I conclude that the socialresponsibility of a business is to make a profit. Both Friedman and Mackey were arguing the same thing, just painting the picture in different ways. Like the Rorschach inkblot test, they were both describing the same subject, with the same interpretations using different delivery methods. Unfortunately capitalism runs the world. Fact is, our society is built off greed and the true SocialResponsibility of any and all businesses is to do the bare minimum to lure in enough consumers to be able to make a profit and grow.
